Finally some good karma. Gill was used so sparingly, because the 6 regulars are better then he is, and the Flyers were relatively injury free on the backend. - MJL
Oh man I am very excited.
In October/November it looked like a three yr project, now who knows, anything can happen.
I guess with their mix of big guys on the d side, Gill maybe didn't add much.
But he is a heady player and I liked what I saw the last two games. Maybe my expectations were set low and I was happily surprised.
Does Downie start in game one?
I'd play both him and Rinaldo at least to start. Not sure what Berube does.

whoever said Couts should use his slapshot in here earlier, i agree with very much.
hate that its become more rare in today's game. Love big centers that would crank it like Sundin always would. if nothing else it often creates a rebound.
always wished Carter wouldve worked on that instead of always trying to get his wrister off

When Carter was out late night in old city, he had plenty of options available so that he wouldn't have to rely on getting his wrister off.

I think Couts should shoot more in general
Are you talking about a slapper like the one at 6:25?

If he ever gets that explosive first stride he will have a ton of breakaway chances.
He is so good at taking pucks away.
I'm not sure what Berube does. Really surprised Downie was scratched the last two games, which doesn't make a lot of sense, unless Berube continues to scratch him. I would have thought if Berube was going to use him extensively in the playoffs, he would have given him the last two games to round his game into form.
I like Raffl on the third line, I'm just not sure McGinn can carry the load on the second line. I would expect Vinny to be promoted throughout the game depending on the situation.

No way should McGinn play. He doesnt offer much. If Berube scrathes Downie I'm good with Akeson playing based on his speed. Which we could use. Rinaldo will be back as well.

At this point, I would hope that if he was in the playoff plans they would have called him up a little sooner.
